When I was a child I inherited a Commodore 64 with 2 MicroProse games on it. GUNSHIP and M1 Tank Platoon. These games were the start of my interest in Simulators and Military games. I'm glad the brand is back and sticking to its roots.

A truly worthy contender for the classic Microprose brand, the amount of details is astonishing. And there are few nods as well, like the title intro and the way MPS marketed their other titles when quitting the game. Love it!

Thank you boss. I sure home future Damsonn will feature us in their oldies goldies segments 30 years from now, just gotta do it right :)

The music, the visuals, the attention to detail, the fact that you probably had to make a naval and a plane game into one which is a lot of work... I mean I am sold. I just want to play a beta or something to get the hands on the game myself 😄

I'm REALLY liking everything I see here! The level of detail in the game mechanics, attention to historical detail/ doctrine/ SOP's/ tactics, 3D world graphics, the UI, the scalable FOW and levels of realism. Looks like something special brewing here. Brilliant Team Drydock!!

Ah yes, time to roleplay Adm. Fletcher, Spruance or Halsey.

Would love to see a Mediterranean and also late war version of this game after it’s done and dusted.

Man MicroProse it's really doing some of the best job in the industry when it comes to helping the right people releasing some of the most interesting, ambitious and niche games there are, we all here know that this it's not the general's public cup of tea, but it is awesome that we can get enough people behind the right projects to make it happen!

I really appreciated the radio banter. It is what makes the game feel alive and immersive, and a testament that developer cares about little detail in their work.

Microprose... You're making me bankrupt; like you did in the 90s!

This looks quite good already. A couple things that came to mind watching this: 1- The ability to click on the timeline and have the game automatically fast forward to that point in time and then go back to 1x speed. With the ability for the player (pressing any of the time control hotkeys) or events (such as a new unknown contact) to stop it. 2- When the planes are launching the propellers go from stopped to spinning with no in-between, having them visibly spin up would make the process look a lot better. You could also program a little randomization so the engines don't start up in perfect sync for all planes. 3- If possible, having some smoke come off the planes as the engines start up would also add to the realism and coolness. The Wildcat like most (all?) piston engined fighters of the time released very visible smoke for some seconds upon starting the engine.

Hello Thanks! Quick reply 1 - something could be thought of, but we also want to avoid having the player getting interrupted too easily. Time Compression back to x1 could be subject to specific message/event settings not unlike what Paradox uses for its own message system (aka you decide what is deemed an important enough information - hopefully then we can make the difference between a regular CAP launch and, say, a strike). We'll get to it soon enough, and we'll see how we deal with it. 2 & 3 are completely work in progress though - as said in the video (or perhaps it was clearer in the non-voice over part) this will be improved. Graphically speaking most animation aren't ready just yet, so don't worry you have you covered :) Cheers

@@DrydockDreamsGames Hello For 1 my idea is to make it hard to miss a point the player might want to see due to time compressing past it by mistake, I was thinking of how Kerbal Space Program handles it but the Paradox way is valid too. For 2 and 3 I figured they were probably already planned. There seems to be a good level of attention to detail, I noticed for example how the planes launch and fly with the canopy open but close them in combat which is something very rarely seen in games (I can only think of flight simulators allowing this off the top of my head). Maybe they should close them upon spotting enemies rather than when they start taking fire (10:17 in the video) though I imagine a tunnel visioned pilot might just forget about it while following an enemy, especially early on in the conflict.

This is fantastic!

Looks very nice , will be a huge seller if they keep updating and adding campaigns , new units , graphic improvments etc like Uboat.

give this to me now

can ai crew level up with experience etc to make them more accurate/formidable/improve their decision making?

hyyyyyype :D

Just to note at 8:30 The voiceover says "When they are clasified as hostile, they will become bandits and labled in red." This isn't correct, unless terminology was different in the 40's. A Bogey is an unknown, a bandit is a known enemy that hasn't met ROE to engage and a hostile is an enemy that has met ROE to engage. So saying it's hostile and classifying it as a bandit is actually degrading it. I realize 90% of the sim community and content creators get this wrong, but for a game like this it might make sense to do it right. Of course, this is assuming the terminology didn't get overhauled, but that would seem unneccesarily confusing.

@DrydockDreamsGames

Hello Greg. I am afraid that in these earlier days there weren't yet room for fancy stuff (one might need a specific research, but the very concept of "rules of engagement" is actually absent from RADAR BULLETIN No. 8A (AIRCRAFT CONTROL MANUAL) - and that's the 1950 edition!). As you surmise, terminology is a living thing :) Best way to describe the procedure of the time is to "reverse engineer" the radio logs available from the action proper, probably, so as to see how doctrine was implemented at the tactical level. A good example is the Yorktown's radio log during the Japanese attack at Coral Sea www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/ships/logs/CV/CV5-Coral.html As you will see, Bogey & Bandit are clearly used for their, I'd say, basic meaning inherited from RAF fighter direction practice, which was integrated to USN doctrine a few months before the action proper. The British wouldn't use "hostile" back then as a concept, nor would the USN as a consequence - a simple word search in the logs will net all the relevant references (or lack thereof in the case of hostile). You even come across, in the heat of the action, some mixin' the likes of "bogey bandits" which obviously is wrong, but could still happen as people were under stress, or not utterly familiar with the concepts - or simply made a mistake and corrected it immediately after that. Please see the use in this video of the word "hostile" is just another way of calling it "enemy" as opposed to "friendly" or "allied". In this case these are to used in their common meaning, the proper in-game and era-relevant terminology being limited to "bogeys" & "bandits" (and friendlies if there were any) Hope this answers your question :) Cheers & take care

Deck at the start is on recovery mode so it needs to get reshuffled for launch. Depends on how the deck is configured at game start. No scenario will start without the proper extra time to start air ops. Time management becomes a problem later on :)
